Fun week!

Hello everyone! Well, I've had a pretty fun week! I've had my bike for 8 days now, and so far I've taken it out to ride 7 of those days! Tuesday was my first day taking it on the mountain trails, before that I was just riding up and down campus. At first I just went out on the trails behind the U, and then after that my friend called me up and we went on a harder trail (I had to push my bike up about halfway...I was way too worn out!) but it had an AWESOME downhill single track. I fell off my bike on a sharp narrow turn, and cut up my knee pretty bad....there's a picture below of what it looked like after the ride :P

Also, on Memorial Day I went to Snowbird to ski! The snow was pretty awful, nothing but slush! It was really hard to ski down, I got worn out really fast! It was also hard because since I hadn't skied in nearly two months, I had to get my "Ski Legs" back :P But there was a great view from the top of the mountain!

Then on Wednesday night I went to see Anberlin and Taking Back Sunday in concert with my friend Katrina and her friend Kriston. I only know a few songs from each band, but they played the songs I knew it was so much fun! The crowd was absolutely crazy, but totally fun! I haven't been to a concert in a LONG time so it was great to go to one again! 

Taking Back Sunday:

Then last night, Friday, Katrina and our friend Keith went to see Basshunter in concert! I have a music video of his posted below :P

That was also a lot of fun...for not having been to many concerts in a long time, two in one week was a blast!

And speaking of concerts, I'm going to see GREEN DAY in concert in Salt Lake in AUGUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited! I really like their new album, I can't wait to see them live again! Their concerts are really the best!

Well, tonight there's a ward hike to Ensign Peak which is right around the Capitol, and I heard it was a great view of the city. I'll get some pictures!

Adios!

My knee after my fall:

New Bike! :)

I got a new bike, after my 2007 Brodie Recluse got stolen a few weeks ago :(

My new bike is a Specialized Myka, and I love it! It's a lot lighter than my Brodie and it rides really well. Yesterday and today and I biked all around campus, and I've had the best bike rides with the spring weather! It's been overcast and rainy here, with weather in the mid to low 70's. 

Salt Lake City is absolutely beautiful in the Spring...everything is green, the weather is great, the birds are out and chirping, and sometimes its overcast like it was today. The air is clean and clear, and as I was riding down today I could smell the pine trees and a hint of rain....it was so refreshing!

Right now, Chemistry and Biology are going all right. I'm enjoying my rock climbing class as well. I was afraid everyone was going to be super amazing at climbing and I'd be lagging behind, but we're all on the same level, which is great. 

Memorial Day is on Monday, and I think I'm going to go up to Snowbird that day for a day of skiing (Yes, they're still open on weekends...until June 14!) and then if I have the energy I'll try and take on the Wasatch Mountains with my bike :) 

Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone!

:D

Yay! I just have to take my math final today and then I'm officially done with my freshman  year of college!! Today is definitely a "happeh" day!

GREEN DAY!

Green Day is FINALLY coming out with a new album, 21st Century Breakdown! In stores May 15th! I'm excited, they haven't released an album since American Idiot in 2004! They just released the single, "Know Your Enemy" which is really catchy and I like it a lot. It's not particularly ground-breaking or anything new for them, but I like that they're sticking to their sound. Maybe the rest of the songs will be a little less "mainstream"...who knows, I can't wait to hear the rest!

You can listen to "Know Your Enemy" here:

Bored!

So I'm up and awake and at 1 am....I'm not very tired and I don't have school tomorrow, so I guess staying up this late is justified :D This is the last week of the ski season in Utah, so I'm planning on going to Alta tomorrow and then maybe hitting up Alta again on Thursday (no school) or going over to Park City. I'm sad the ski season is over!! All in all, I've gone about 15 times or so this season. I used to only go twice a year at the most, so this season has been a huge improvement!

So...I have recently joined the Electronic Music Enthusiasts Club at the U, and it's really cool! We were called the Electronic Dance Music Enthusiasts United Club, but for obvious reasons we decided to shorten it ;)

And since I'm awake, I thought I'd post up a few of my favorite techno/electronic/house/dance songs :)

This is "Kiss Me Again" and it's super catchy!! I just love it. It's my most played song on my iPod by far!

This next one is "Boten Anna" by BassHunter. He's amazing!! He's coming to Utah on May 29 and I'm definitely going to be there! He also has another super famous song, "DotA".

This one is called "Eurodancer" by DJ Mangoo. It's a really pretty song with a good beat. I remember Lauren's friend, Tyler Jones, put this on a CD for her a really long time ago...I still like it! :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everybody!

Well, I'm horrible at updating this thing. I only have three more weeks of school left..YAY! I can't believe my freshman year of college is almost over! It's actually gone by pretty fast. My plans for this summer are to take three classes: Bio-Organic Chemistry, Biology 1210, and Indoor Rock Climbing! I'll also be living in the dorms again, which I'm actually kind of excited about....I'll have my own room! Yay!

Well, this week is our Initiation week for the new girls of Alpha Chi, so I'll be super busy in the evenings at practices and ritual stuff for it. 

I thought I'd share a few of my favorite WebComics...I love going to different online comic websites and reading what they have! I used to read the Comics in the Bakersfield Californian on a daily basis, and now that I dont have the paper, it's only fitting that I'm reading the ones online! Here are my favorites:

These are just classic Lolcat comics...they're off of www.icanhascheezburger.com

This one is from xkcd.com...its pretty witty, I love it :)

Anyway, I'll try and make it a New Years Resolution to update this more. Until next time!
